You're right lmao... but I just don't like that "chance" that it could be exploited..
Its a personal preference... like getting dated tech in a new phone(moto) which I seem to enjoy lmao
My ex boyfriend is reading my text messages nightly. What can I do to stop this? How did he even get the ability to read my text messages anyway?
I see what you're saying, but I gotta agree with b here. Considering it can be disabled, frozen, and removed, on top of tons of privacy settings, I'd consider this nothing short of paranoia. Again I see where you're coming from, but I can guarantee if someone wanted to spy on you through your Razr or Bionic or anything...they could. Just sayin. S3 is an awesome phone. If you're just looking to switch for the hell of it, then fair enough. Otherwise...you're missing out :happy3:
Also I really hope the OP keeps us updated. I'd also like to know a) how she was able to find out he was reading them and b) what ultimately solved it. Best of luck, this must be a very scary situation to be in!!!
I havent read all of the replies so sorry if this has already been stated.... but seriously if you want it to stop report him to the police! After that delete the source of his invasion of privacy
Use Avast - also if you're rooted LBE privacy to set permission for apps
I found out because he said some things that I didn't say to anyone, except through text.
I wouldn't hold your breath on the police doing anything useful. Even if you could prove that he is reading your messages which seems impossible besides the fact he knows things you have only said over text message. That is more he said she said stuff, best case a cop would write up a harassment report and never think about it again.
I would do as others suggested to nothing to aggravate this person and wipe your phone and look for a spyware app to do a scan afterword.
